TotalBoat Penetrating Epoxy is a low-viscosity wood rot restoration and repair solution that seals deeper & cures stronger than industry-leading penetrating epoxies. It has no VOCs, no odor & is 100% waterproof once cured.
This 2:1 system is ideal for restoring rotten or damaged wood, or sealing new wood for lasting protection against humidity, salt, mold & mildew. It works by gluing cellulose (wood) fibers back together, sealing a bare, porous wood surface from the inside out. Double the penetrating power by mixing acetone with the epoxy resin solution in equal volume. Easy to apply by brush, roller, or inject via syringe. Surfaces may be painted or varnished after light sanding.
Choose from Traditional (65-90 F) or Cold Weather (40-65 F) formulas in Pint, Quart, 1/2 Gallon & Gallon kits.

Cleanup is easy. Wear latex gloves, wash off with soap and water. No solvents required.
APPLICATION NOTE: The wood must be bare and unfinished. Also, TotalBoat Penetrating Epoxy will not penetrate and level well when applied over some stains. Always test an area first. DO NOT USE on top of Minwax oil-based stains.
TotalBoat Cold Weather Penetrating Epoxy is perfect for use during the colder seasons. Compared to our traditional TotalBoat Penetrating Epoxy, our Cold Weather formula offers similar performance characteristics, but cures completely and reliably in cooler temperatures. Its tack-free properties also allow you to sand sooner.
WARNING: TotalBoat Cold Weather Penetrating Epoxy should not be used as a fast-cure epoxy in warmer temperature conditions because doing so can be unsafe and result in premature exotherm, brittleness, and improper curing.
Application Temperature Ranges:
- Traditional formula - 65-90°F
- Cold Weather formula - 40-65°F

A standard epoxy would do the same without all the extra scraping and sanding.

I use this on all of my epoxy projects. It is a very easy to mix and apply. It is a lot thinner that the resin and hardener so it brushes on very easy. It will soak in deep to the wood fibers and seals against air bubbles in your pour.

I read the directions carefully. I watched a video. Nonetheless, it didn't work as I had hoped. First, after about 15 minutes the mixed product (Part A and B) started to heat up. It even smoked and the cup became too hot to hold. Second, shortly after application the product started to bubble on the wood finish.

I used this on my sailboat's toe rail and on a plywood seat. In both cases I stripped the wood first. Then varnished the toerail with Halcyon Amber, or painted the plywood with bilge paint. Happy with both scenarios. I got the pumps so I can use them easily as needed.

Non-marine application, but very effective as a penetrative coating. Label of hardener was illegible upon opening package, due to slightly leaking. Hardener is about as non-viscous as water, or even thinner. But overall I am satisfied.

Absolutely thrilled with the ease of use and the results of this kit to refinish my outdoor live edge bar top. I love that the kit came with mixing sticks and marked mixing containers. the finish has turned out great and seems to have penetrated the wood very well.

Did just what I needed it to do. Has done a great job on sealing all the plywood and additional wood I used when replacing my transom, knees, and bracing in my old boat.

I needed epoxy for several small jobs, so I ordered a gallon and got free shipping -- can't beat that. It's good to have some on hand, and the two components keep well in storage, so I have some left over for anything else that pops up. Linda

We installed a 3 inch thick redwood slab for a bar top, put two coats on and it looks fantastic. The product brought out all the wood grains and colors. It has the shiny coat that you can slide a beer across. Thank you and keep up the good work on this product!
